Swollen Calf With Bruise After A Fall. Hard Lump Formation. What To Do?
I slipped in the tub and hit the inside of my leg on the tile just below my knee . It swelled right up and I thought at the time I would have a huge bruise . Well it is still swollen but not as bad. It was huge. now it looks like from where I hit it that it has traveled down half of my leg is a giant bruise color. Still a hard lump where it got hit. Just doesn t look like a bruise just really dark and big maybe two hands big.
Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
First you need X-ray of your knee region including upper tibia and fibula AP/Lateral view. It will detect any bony injury.
Treatment depends upon the findings of X-rays and clinical examination.
For swelling you can take pain killers and serratopeptidase tablets.
Get well soon.
Take Care
